My Results On ADD

I ran off to the drug store and go my prescription of Ritalin, to treat my newly diagnosed ADD.  I did some research online and found some things that said it could take anywhere from 15-60 minutes for the medicine to start doing anything. 

I looked at the clock, it was 2:14 p.m.  I got a glass of water and took 10mg and waited.

Now let me tell you what usually happens with me, my brain goes and goes and goes, constantly my mind is saying, you need to do this, you need to do that.  This is due, that's overdue.  Your going to lose this if you don't do this. etc.  About 40 minutes after taking this medication, my mind stopped running like a runaway train.  It stopped... all the noise just stopped.  My mind was as clear as day with nothing on it.  Then the oddest thing happened.  When something came to my mind, I just did it.  I didn't think about it, or say how I can't do it because I'm to busy, I just did it.  Stunning.  And it kept happening.

Later that afternoon my husband came home and we sat down to talk.  Again, my mind is usually running with all things I need to do, and I normally don't even really hear him.  I usually say, "huh?" because I missed most of what he said.  Well not today!  I sat and listened to every word he said.  Everything!  From his day, to about his boss, to about those that work for him..... down to what he ate for lunch.  not one thing came into my mind.  Wow.
